boner Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Guys, Something's not right with my carb. Have searched through old posts, and got a few hints of what the problem might be, but just wanted to chuck this out there anyway... Basically the bike won't idle evenly, instead it surges (if that makes any sense) once the throttle is blipped before it returns to a tick over. However, the above does not happen when the choke is ON. Any ideas? Cheers - Boner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boner Posted March 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Is the pilot jet the same as either the "main jet" or "idle jet"? See: http://www.dellorto.co.uk/merchandise/prod...artsectionID=24 Thanks - Boner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil king Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 When I first got mine, the pilot jet would clog every other ride. I drilled it out and it hasnt clogged since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
